Insomnia Thread...

[Willow87]

I'm sorry that you are feeling depressed, i'm feeling the same way but the heat is making me feel worse. I wish it would rain here. Hopefully you will be near her soon Sherry. I had a hamburger for dinner lol. I'am a Cancer and my Chinese Zodiac sign is the Hare. I think I'm the luckiest of all the signs LOL. My sister is a dragon, my mom is the rat and i think my brother is the ox which really explains alot. Its scary how both zodiac signs describe me accurately lol.

I'm feeling a little better now I guess. Henry cheered me up in the aero-garden tonight...





Check out the pet thread if you wanna see what I wrote about him...





Liking these three different shades of orange of my peppers this evening...





Wow Cam, that's a lot of personalities in one house! You'll have to keep reading the Zodiac thread, as I describe more signs and personalities. Looking forward to doing mine next...Aquarius. I found out it's Patty's sign as well. I'll be posting information about Cancer later too that you haven't seen.


So yeah, I took some other shots but thery're not clear.


Someone gave me something today and I'm gonna show it in the dinner thread...


: )

[Willow87]

Well I'm glad Henry cheered you up. He looks so cute with his buddy lol. I really do need to check out the zodiac thread. My families other zodiac signs are Capricorn, Gemini, and Libra.

The more pictures I see of Henry the more attached I'm getting to him. He looks like royalty. I wish I could keep a bird but I'm afraid it will fly away, and it will poop all over the house.

: )

I hope you cheer up. You need some sun. The rain makes me depressed. I know its not easy when you miss people. It will pass. Henry is so cool. I still have not found one yet but will soon. Cheer up

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Thanks, Greg! I'm feeling better now. We all have our days, I guess. I was just missing my mom earlier and us being neighbors like we were. We will be together again though, I know.


So yeah, Henry is a cutie and I'm glad it comes through even in pictures. Nice that you guys love him so much too. I'm looking forward to you getting one, Greg. Don't rush though...it takes time to find the right one for you. You can teach him all kinds of words and phrases and even songs. They whistle tunes amazingly also!


Henry knows how to make a raspberry sound too and if you say something he thinks is funny he'll spontaneously make the sound at you like he knows you're just being silly. It's hysterical when he does it. He "caws" like a crow as well and it's insanely cute. My aunt's budgie "Willie" barks like thier dog! Gosh I love birds.


One of the funniest things Henry does is in the morning when I take the sheet cover off his cage and he blurts out really loudly and really enthusiastically "HI"!!! It's just the way he cheerfully bellows it out and how he looks. I love it. What a special little fella he is.


Some of the signs of your family Cam, I've already done, but more are coming soon. I'm sure enjoying that thread and finding out people's signs. It's so fun.


I'm just hanging out tonight and was gonna post a shot in the dinner thread, but not of my dinner, which was just leftovers.


Chat soon...


: )

[Yug]

Lemme guess, y'all are asleep now ain'tcha?

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Or perhaps it was that noboby wanted to chat with a 'Blooming Idiot'!!!


Teasing, of course.


So how's everyone's Friday going so far? It's sunny and nice here...gotta water & shower some plants. I'm not sure just yet what's on the agenda for today but I'll likley go out briefly later to pick up a few things...only be gone an hour though.


Hope you guys are having a great day. Chat soon...


: )

[Willow87]

OUCH!!! That's gonna leave a mark

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Just a wise-crack of course Yug, because of your user title!


How beautiful, Cam!


I think that's 'Lemon Queen' but I'm not totally sure. How tall is it and is there just one flower on each plant? Look through my seeds and tell me which ones I sent. I know I sent the 'fashion mix' but I can't remember what else...


I am totally impressed with how fast you got those up and growing, and now blooming! The leaves look really super healthy and beautiful. Most people's sunflower leaves are ratty and torn looking...yours are gorgeous!


Take note Cam, of what grows super well around your house and then focus on growing lots of those particular plants there in the future. Sunflowers are obviously a real success story for you. That thing looks perfect! How utterly cheerful and uplifting, just to look at it. Thanks for showing us. I love it.


Well I just woke up but I'm gonna try to go back to sleep now. Hope everyone has a terrific weekend.

I resemble that remark!

[Willow87]

Good morning Sherry, I just got back from window shopping at the mall. I think it is the Lemon Queen one because its only 2 feet tall and has one bloom on it. I love it and I can't wait to collect seeds from it. I want to plant some on my side yard which is hot all the time and gets full sun most of the day. I will definitely look for more sunflowers next year to plant. I want a flowerbed with just those in it. I've been feeding them with Miracle Grow and foliar feeding once a week with Hasta Gro. Its in an exposed windy area so I'm very surprised the leaves aren't tattered lol. I wish I had more so I could bring cut flowers inside. But Sunflowers are definitely going in my garden again.
I hope you slept well.

[The Hollyberry Lady]

LoL, Yug! With a user title like that, you walked right into it!


I slept ok I guess Cam, but I woke up in the middle of the night and posted a bit. I'm feeling better rested now.


I'm re-thinking the Lemon Queen though because they're usually much darker in the center, and they look different than that one. It was the middle of the night and I think I was groggy-eyed when I guessed 'lemon queen'!


It could be a type from the beautiful fashion mix I sent but I'm thinking, now that you've told me it's 2 feet tall, that it's a "Sun Spot"!!! Lemon queen is multi-branched and has more than one flower on each plant and blooms continually over the season, but yours only has one bloom. I really think it's a "Sun Spot" sunflower, based on the description and look of
it.

It's just gorgeous and you should plant more of the sunflower seeds I sent, right now! They grow quickly and lots of people enjoy late summer and even fall sunflower blooms. They obviously love it there so take full advantage and show them off all over your yard. They are bright and cheerful and can be seen from far distances too.


I'm gonna post in a few threads...


: )

[Willow87]

'm glad to hear you got some good rest. I'm feeling kind of depressed today lol.
I think you may be right about it being Sunspot, though this flower is small, maybe 4 inches across lol. I'm going to look for more seeds next year to plant along the sunniest side of my house. I especially want the taller ones. I dont have anymore of the sunflower seeds that you sent me, So I will have to go looking some Garden Centers next year. I hope you are having a great day

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Canna is blooming today...





Hope everyone's having a good Sunday so far.


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

Ooooohhh! That is lovely! It looks like the bloom is variegated almost like a cherry swirl candy! Yes???

Getting ready to take Greg out for Father's Day Dinner - he wants Mexican - so off to our favorite Mexican restaurant!!!

~J

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Mmmmmm....sounds yummy.


Yes, the flower is definitely variegated, like the leaves. What a beauty!


Sorry to hear you're depressed, Cam. Me too. I miss my dad today.


Enjoy your mexican food, JaNan. Chat soon...


: )

[Jananas Bananas]

My Mom took my Dad to Branson, Missouri for a little mini-vacation this weekend. I am sure they are having a great time!!!

Sherry, I am sure your Daddy is watching over you and he lives on in your memories of him and your heart!

~J

[Willow87]

Hi Sherry and Janan. That is so cool that your canna flower is variegated. I feel much better now and I know how you feel Sherry about missing your dad. I love Mexican food, its been a while since I've eaten at a Mexican Restaurant. My sister took me to a nice one on my birthday last year. It was really fun especially with the large glass of sangria swirl LOL. Im having fajitas for dinner
